This package provides replication code and data for the the paper Angelika J. Budjan, Utz Pape and Laura Ralston."Broken Promises: Evaluating an Incomplete Startup Business Program".


1. The 00-run.do file runs the entire replaction sequence. Before running it change the folder path in line 13 to your local directory.

2. After setting up the folder path, the 00-run.do initiates the 00-init.do file which creates the folder structure and installs any missing packages. 

3. After that it prepares the final dataset and runs the entire analysis. All produced tables will be saved in the newly created "Tables" folder and named their numbering in the paper.
